Questions and Answers
..:: Personal Questions ::..
When is your birthday?
My birthday is on 16 March.
What is your favorite day of the week?
Thursday. It has always been my favorite day of the week, because Thursday is the day I was born.
What three things could you not live without?
My music workstation, my PC, and my portable MP3 player. Music is a huge part of my life, so my workstation is where I can create, experiment, and express myself. My PC is essential for pretty much everything else I do, from work and everyday tasks to exploring new ideas. And my portable MP3 player lets me take my music with me wherever I go. In different ways, all three are closely connected to how I spend my time and who I am.
Who is the greatest love of your life?
My father, my mother, and my two brothers. They are the people who have been there for me from the very beginning, through every chapter of my life. Their love, support, and presence have shaped who I am today, and I feel incredibly lucky to have them by my side. To me, the greatest love is the kind that remains constant, through both the good times and the difficult ones.
What is your favorite color?
Blue has always been my favorite color. It is a beautiful and timeless color that symbolizes loyalty, strength, trust, and wisdom. I also love how calm and comforting it feels, while its many different shades can evoke so many different moods.
Tell us a little about the place where you were born. Where in Greece is it located?
I was born in Thessaloniki, also known as Thessalonica or Salonica. The city is Greece's second major economic, political, commercial, and industrial center. It is also a major transportation hub for the rest of southeastern Europe. The city was founded around 315 B.C. by the King Cassander of Macedon. He named it after his wife Thessalonike, a half-sister of Alexander the Great. The White Tower of Thessaloniki is widely regarded as the symbol of the city.
What is your earliest memory?
Standing at the top of a stairway while holding my father's right hand and my mother's left hand.
What was your favorite game as a kid?
Hide and seek. I loved the excitement of running around, finding the perfect hiding spot, and trying not to give myself away. It was simple, spontaneous, and always more fun when there were plenty of friends around. Looking back, it is one of those childhood games that brings back a sense of carefree happiness and nostalgia.
Do you have any birthmarks?
I have one on the back of my right leg.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was a child, I used to collect model aircraft, and I was fascinated by airplanes. I dreamed of becoming a pilot when I grew up. There was something about flying and seeing the world from above that really captured my imagination.
Have you ever been bullied at school?
I have never been bullied at school. Given the opportunity, I'd like to say that bullying should stop in schools. I think all students should report bullying incidents, whether they are the victim or a witness, and teachers should do more to intervene and stop bullying. However, it is also important for teachers to look into a child's home situation and find out more about why the bullying is happening. A child or teenager who bullies others may be dealing with problems at home or living in a difficult family situation.
Who was your favorite teacher growing up and why?
Vasiliki Vrouvliani. She was a wonderful teacher that made learning fun and exciting. Many of her students, including myself, cried a lot on the day of her retirement. I will always remember her as one of the most influential teachers of my life.
Describe Senior High School in one sentence.
Senior High School was definitely one of the best periods of my life.
What was your favorite subject in Senior High School?
The arts (music, dancing, painting, and theater). I have always been drawn to creative forms of expression, and I loved how each of these allowed me to explore and communicate something in a different way. Music, in particular, has always had a special place in my life, but I enjoyed the freedom and creativity that came with all forms of art.
What is your favorite animated movie of all time?
There are quite a few animated movies that have touched my heart so far. One of them is definitely Peter Pan. It is based on the play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up by J.M. Barrie. The movie follows the adventures of Peter Pan, a mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up. Peter Pan lives in Neverland, a magical island filled with pirates, mermaids, and other fantastical creatures.
Have you ever loved someone so much that it made you cry?
Yes, I have. It was an unrequited love I experienced in Athens in 2004, with a medical student, and it was incredibly painful. But somehow, that pain found its way into my music and inspired me to write some of the most beautiful tracks I have ever composed. Looking back, I realize that although the experience hurt deeply, it also gave me a powerful source of inspiration and allowed me to express emotions that I might not have been able to express in any other way.
Have you ever said "I love you" and not meant it?
No, I haven't. When I say "I love you" to someone, I mean it. For me, those words have a deep meaning, so I don't say them lightly or just out of habit. I believe that when you truly love someone, you should be honest about it.
Do you believe in true love?
Yes, I do. I believe true love is built on understanding, support, trust, and mutual respect. It is not always effortless or perfect, it is a journey that requires patience, honesty, effort, and commitment from both people. But when two people genuinely care for each other and choose to grow together through both the beautiful and difficult moments, I believe true love is absolutely possible, and it is one of the most meaningful things we can experience in life.
Love or money?
They are both important, but they serve different needs in our lives. Love provides emotional fulfillment, connection, and support. Money provides the means to meet our basic needs and pursue our goals. Money can make life more comfortable, but it cannot buy true love, true happiness, true friends, or meaningful relationships. Love, on the other hand, enriches our lives in ways that money cannot. Ultimately, it is about balance. Having financial security can reduce stress and allow for more focus on relationships and personal fulfillment. Similarly, having strong connections and love in your life can make any financial situation more bearable.
What would your super power be?
To heal incurable diseases. If I could have one superpower, I would want it to be something that could genuinely make a difference in people's lives. Being able to give hope to those facing illnesses that currently have no cure, and to give them more time with the people they love, would be an incredible gift.
Would you ever camp out on a beach, under the stars?
Yes, absolutely. That sounds beautiful. There is something magical about falling asleep with the sound of the waves in the background and waking up to the sea and the morning light. Spending a night under the stars, away from the noise and distractions of everyday life, sounds like a wonderful way to reconnect with nature and simply enjoy the moment.
If someone was to approach you for a date, what would be your dream night out?
That would involve a meal somewhere that is not too casual but not overly fancy either. I would want the atmosphere to feel comfortable and relaxed, with good food and plenty of time for conversation. For me, the most important part of a great date would be being able to genuinely connect with the other person, laugh together, and enjoy each other's company without feeling rushed or distracted.
Do you go more by looks or personality?
I could never date someone who is beautiful outside, but ugly inside.
What is your favorite season?
Spring! Spring is a season of renewal and rejuvenation. After the cold and often bleak winter, spring brings a burst of life. Trees bud, flowers bloom, and animals come out of hibernation. The world seems to come alive with vibrant colors and fresh scents. The days start to get longer, providing more daylight. This boosts my mood and energy levels, making me feel more active and productive. It is the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, picnics, and gardening, without the extremes of summer heat.
What is your favorite means of transportation?
Train. Trains generally offer more legroom and space to move around compared to buses or airplanes, making for a more comfortable journey. Train routes often pass through picturesque landscapes that you might not see otherwise. You can enjoy the changing scenery from the comfort of your seat. High-speed trains can compete with the travel times of short-haul flights, particularly when factoring in the time spent at airports for security checks and boarding. You can work, read, or relax without the distractions of driving or the restrictions of in-flight activities. Trains are also one of the safest means of transportation, with lower accident rates compared to cars and airplanes. Additionally, depending on the route and time of booking, train tickets can be more affordable than plane tickets.
Do you shower daily?
Yes, I shower at least once a day. For me, it is an important part of maintaining good personal hygiene, especially after a long or active day. Beyond simply removing sweat and dirt, I find a daily shower refreshing and it helps me feel clean, comfortable, and ready to take on the day.
Do you swear?
No, I do not. I generally prefer to express myself without using swear words. I believe you can be honest, direct, and even passionate about what you are saying without relying on profanity.
Have you ever been drunk?
Never. I have never been drunk, and I have always preferred to stay in control of myself. I can enjoy a good time without needing to drink to excess, and that has simply never been something that appealed to me.
Do you smoke?
No, I don't. I've never been a smoker, and I prefer to maintain a healthy lifestyle without smoking.
Have you ever been psychologically or physically dependent upon any drug or alcohol?
No, I have not. I have never experienced psychological or physical dependence on drugs or alcohol, and neither has ever been a significant part of my life.
Do you care what others think about you?
Not really. I try not to let the opinions of people I do not know or people who are not part of my life affect how I see myself. What matters most to me is what the people I love and respect think about me, because their opinions come from knowing me and caring about me. I believe it is more important to stay true to yourself than to constantly worry about how others perceive you.
What is one thing you believe the world needs more of?
Empathy. The ability to understand and share the experiences, emotions, and perspectives of others can profoundly transform relationships, foster compassion, and create a more connected and supportive world. Imagine what the world would be like if everyone made a conscious effort to understand each other a little better, put themselves in someone else's shoes, see the world through their eyes, and respond with kindness and consideration.
What is the most important lesson life has taught you so far?
To truly live is to follow your heart, to realize that you can achieve your dreams and be who you were meant to be.
Tell us one thing you do not like to do.
To give up. I don't like giving up, especially when I know something is worth fighting for. I prefer to keep trying, learn from my mistakes, and find another way forward.
To whom would you most like to say sorry and why?
My wonderful grandmothers, because I did not spend enough time with them when they were alive.
What is the closest you've come to death?
I've had two accidents, both when I was a child. The first happened when I was eight years old. I was sitting in the back of a car driven by a friend of my father's. We were driving up a steep mountain road when (because the road was slippery) the car suddenly began to spin in the middle of the road. Fortunately, the driver managed to keep control of the car and bring it to a stop on the right-hand side of the road. If the car had gone off to the left, I don't know if we would have survived, because there was nothing on that side but a steep cliff.
The second accident happened when I was nine. I was only a few meters from my home in Thessaloniki. As I was trying to cross the road to get back home, my view was blocked by a large truck. A car coming from the opposite direction, traveling at high speed, hit me and threw me several meters away. Fortunately, I escaped with nothing more than a bruise on my leg. It healed completely over time and caused no lasting problems with my mobility. The driver was very kind and immediately offered to help me. He even came to my house a day or two later to check on me and make sure I was okay. Looking back, I realize how fortunate I was in both situations. They were frightening experiences, especially at such a young age, but thankfully neither accident had any lasting consequences.
Would you prefer to die young surrounded by loved ones or die old and alone?
Actually, I am going to live forever; and I will not be alone!
Have you got any tattoos?
No, I haven't. I don't have any tattoos, as I've never really felt the need to have one.
Are you right-handed or left-handed?
I am right-handed.
What is in your refrigerator right now?
Natural mineral water, orange juice, chocolate, marmalade, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
Describe your perfect pizza.
My perfect pizza would have tomato sauce, a lot of cheese, and Greek olives. Very yummy!
What is your favorite ice-cream flavor?
I like vanilla ice-cream.
Can you cook?
Yes, I can. I enjoy cooking and can prepare a variety of dishes, from simple and comforting meals like roast chicken with potatoes to homemade pizza. I'm always happy to experiment with different recipes and flavors.
Does it bother you when someone lies to you?
Doesn't it bother everyone? I think being lied to is always unpleasant, especially when you value honesty and trust in a relationship. I can understand that people sometimes lie to avoid hurting someone, but I would always prefer honesty, even when the truth is difficult to hear.
Do you get nervous before doctor appointments?
Well, it depends on what the appointment is for. I don't get particularly nervous about routine appointments, such as going to the dentist. But if it's something more serious or involves a health concern, I tend to worry far more than I probably should.
How easily do you trust people?
I have to get to know someone very well before I can trust them. I don't trust people easily, as I believe trust has to be earned over time. Once I get to know someone and feel that they are honest and genuine, however, I can be very trusting.
Do you trust your intuition?
Yes, I do. I do not need to explain or justify my feelings to everyone. I just trust my own inner guidance; it often knows best.
What is your favorite thing to do with your friends?
Laugh and go on adventures. I love spending time with my friends, having a good laugh, and making memories together. Whether it's a spontaneous trip, trying something new, or simply getting together and enjoying each other's company, it's always more fun when we're together.
Do you think more about the past, present, or future?
I think equally about the past and the future, because without understanding the past, the future stands a good chance of holding the same mistakes.
What do you do when you are not busy making electronic music?
I love walking in the streets, surfing the Internet, chatting with my friends, etc.
Have you ever ridden a horse?
Yes, I have. And I'd like to do it again. I love horses; they are very beautiful creatures.
Do you recycle?
Yes, I do. I try to recycle whenever possible by separating paper, plastic, glass, and other recyclable materials. I think recycling is a simple way to reduce waste and help protect the environment.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
I would give some of my money to my parents, brothers, and close friends. I would also give away some of my money to charity. And of course, I would buy a new music workstation. Any leftover funds would be put into a savings account until I determine a long-term investment plan.
How do you relax?
I relax by listening to music or watching movies.
What do you do when you are stressed?
When I'm stressed, I usually take a break and listen to some relaxing music. It helps me clear my mind, slow down, and take my focus away from whatever is causing the stress. I find that a little quiet time with soothing music can make a big difference.
Have you ever walked into a window because it was just that clean?
Yes, I have. Please tell me I am not the only one.
When shopping at the supermarket, do you return your cart?
Yes, I do. I always return my cart back to the cart holders in the parking lot.
If abandoned alone in the wilderness, who would you want with you?
MacGyver. I am sure he would know or could figure out how to survive.
If you had to move to a country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move?
There are many beautiful countries around the world. One of them is Sweden. Some of the advantages of living in Sweden include low crime rate, high level of education, and good social safety net. In addition, Sweden is an English-friendly country, so I would not have to wait until I learned Swedish to move there. Of course, one of the downsides is the high cost of living.
Have you ever seen a tornado?
Yes, I have. In fact, I was only a few meters away when the tornado happened. Fortunately, the tornado lasted just a few seconds.
How many hats do you have in your house?
I have more than ten hats in my house.
What makes you smile?
I smile when I complete a new music track or a new music album, when I see the sunrise or the sunset, when I look at pictures from my childhood, when I make a new friend, and when I eat chocolate.
What is one of your favorite inspirational quotations?
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
What is your favorite motto in life?
Live the life you want to live, not the life others want you to live.
What is your favorite word?
My favorite word is "music." It has a very special meaning to me because I am a composer. Music is a way for me to express my feelings, ideas, and creativity.
Who would play you in a movie?
I would probably choose Konstantinos Aspiotis. We have quite a similar appearance, so I think he could be a good fit for the role. But more importantly, I really admire his acting talent, and I believe he would be able to capture my personality and bring the character to life in an authentic way.
How many people call you by your birth name?
Very few people call me by my birth name. Most people call me Sakis.
What is your favorite website?
My favorite website is https://www.sakisgouzonis.com.
..:: Musical Questions ::..
Why do you make music? What is your primary goal?
I make music because I was born to make music. It has always felt like a natural part of who I am, something I need to express, rather than simply something I choose to do. My primary goal is to stay true to that feeling and create music that feels honest and meaningful to me.
What was the first music workstation you purchased?
I purchased my first music workstation, the KORG Triton Studio, on 23 July 2002. I used that very same instrument to create and record 17 studio albums between 2008 and 2024. It has been an incredibly important part of my musical journey, and after all these years, it still holds a special place in my studio.
Where did you study music?
I never received any formal musical training. I'm a self-taught musician, and I learned primarily through experimentation, practice, and simply following my passion for music. Everything I've learned has come through the process of creating music and constantly exploring new ideas.
What is your favorite time of day to write music?
I usually write music either early in the morning or late at night. I find that these are the times when I'm most relaxed, focused, and open to new musical ideas.
How often do you practice and how long?
I usually practice two or three times a week, depending on whether I have a live performance coming up that week. A typical practice session lasts around two hours. I try to use that time not only to work on specific pieces, but also to focus on technique, refine details, and make sure I feel confident and prepared for my performances.
What is your favorite city to perform in?
I don't think I could choose just one city. Every city has its own charm and beauty, and every performance has something unique to offer. For me, it's not so much the city itself, but rather the venue, the atmosphere, and, above all, the audience that make a performance truly memorable. Each combination creates a different experience, and that's what makes performing so exciting for me.
How do you feel at the end of a live show?
At the end of a live show, I'm filled with a rush of strong emotions and positive thoughts. The applause from the audience gives me an incredible sense of tremendous energy and electric excitement. At the same time, I feel a deep sense of accomplishment. I've spent countless hours rehearsing and preparing, and there is something truly rewarding about finally stepping onto the stage and sharing the result of all that hard work with the audience. It's an intense and beautiful feeling that stays with me long after the performance is over.
What is your advice on touring?
First and foremost, you need to have great music. Without it, booking gigs and building an audience can be really challenging. Plan your tour well in advance and try to book your shows several months ahead of time. If it's your first tour, don't take on too many gigs. I would recommend playing three or four nights a week and leaving a few days in between to rest, travel, and recharge.
Most importantly, remember that every tour builds on the one before it. Be patient, persevere, and don't get discouraged if things don't happen overnight. Respect your listeners, give them the best shows you possibly can, and build genuine connections with your audience. Their support and loyalty are what will keep you coming back and allow you to build a lasting career on the road.
How long did it take you to attract so many followers on the Internet?
It took me a lot of time. I started promoting my music on MySpace on 17 October 2007, and reached 100,000 fans on 17 February 2010. Since then, my music has reached many hundreds of thousands of listeners across different platforms. Building an audience has been a long journey, but I'm grateful that the music has continued to find its way to new listeners over the years.
What is the best track you have ever created?
All of my tracks are special to me in their own way. Each one represents a different moment, feeling, or period of my life, so it's difficult for me to choose just one as the "best." Some tracks may have connected with more listeners than others, but I have a personal connection with every piece of music I've created.
List some of your tracks that you would listen to on a road trip.
How did you discover electronic music? What was your first exposure?
I think my first exposure to electronic music was a compilation album produced in 1995. It contained tracks composed by Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, and other iconic electronic music composers. I immediately fell in love with the electronic melodies, chords, and beats.
What advice would you give to up-and-coming artists?
I would tell them to stay true to themselves and make the music they want to make. Don't be afraid to be different or to follow your own path. There will always be new trends, but what matters most is creating something that feels honest and meaningful to you. Building a career takes time, so be patient, keep creating, and most importantly, enjoy the journey.
What advice would you give to an artist who is just getting started with social media promotion?
One of the most common mistakes first-timers make is trying too much at once. Start with one social networking site you feel most comfortable with, and then expand slowly. And work hard. It takes years of hard work to get somewhere.
What is the best advice you have been given about showbiz?
The line to the place you want to get to is never straight. It strays among the different avenues. Imagine an eight-lane highway eventually going to the same tunnel. Eventually, you get to that place you want to get to, but getting there requires a lot of lane changes.
Have you ever written music under the influence of any substances?
No, I have not. I don't need substances to write music. Music itself gives me so much joy and fulfillment that no substance could ever give me. The inspiration comes naturally, and the feeling of bringing something to life through music is what I find truly rewarding.
There is a lot of doom and gloom about the music industry today. Is there a bright spot?
Yes, there is. One of the biggest positives today is that musicians can promote themselves directly to their audience without necessarily relying on a middleman or gatekeeper. The Internet and social media have made it possible for independent artists to reach listeners around the world, build their own audience, and have much more control over how they present and share their music.
What is your prediction for the music industry, terminal decline or steady recovery?
I don't think the future of the music industry can be described simply as either terminal decline or steady recovery. The industry is changing rapidly. There is more music being created and released than ever before, especially with the rise of AI-generated music, and the sheer volume of new content is becoming overwhelming. The real challenge may no longer be creating and distributing music, but getting people to actually discover and listen to it. In a world where AI generates tens of thousands of tracks per day, I believe authenticity, individuality, and a genuine human connection with the audience will become increasingly important. For independent artists, standing out may be harder than ever, but having a unique voice and building a direct relationship with listeners could matter more than ever.
What are a few key survival tips for musicians?
Make your official website the center of your online universe, and maintain a mailing list. Social media platforms can change their algorithms, policies, or even disappear, but your website and mailing list are assets you control. Use them to build a direct relationship with your audience.
What do you like most about being an independent artist?
What I like most about being an independent artist is having complete control over my music career. I decide when, where, and how often I want to perform, and when I want to create and release new music. I also retain full ownership of my music rather than giving that control to a record label. For me, that creative freedom and independence are incredibly important.
If you wanted to make your own genre name, what would it be?
Tingling music.
How do you feel when you complete a music track?
I feel incredibly happy and deeply satisfied. Finishing a music track gives me a tremendous sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. The feeling is so intense that it's difficult to fully put into words. There's something very special about taking an idea that exists only in your mind and turning it into a finished piece of music.
What is the best thing about being a musician?
The best thing about being a musician is having the freedom to be as expressive and creative as I want. I also love seeing the joy my music brings to my listeners whenever I release a new album. Knowing that my music can inspire people, touch their lives, and perhaps even make a positive difference in someone's life is a truly beautiful gift.
Name one track of yours that elevates you and gets you in a positive mood.
To Be United is definitely one of those tracks. It has a very positive energy that always lifts my mood and puts me in a good state of mind. It's one of those tracks that I can listen to anytime and instantly feel better.
If you were running an ice cream van, what would it play?
It would definitely play my track Sweet Joy. After all, what could be a more appropriate soundtrack for an ice cream van than Sweet Joy?
What is your favorite European music event?
My favorite European music event is Melodifestivalen in Sweden. I've always loved its energy, creativity, and the way it brings together so many different musical styles and performers. I would absolutely love to participate in it someday. It would be a very exciting experience and a wonderful opportunity to share my music with such a large audience.
Can music bring people together?
Absolutely. As a universal language, music can bring people together, foster mutual understanding between people from different countries and cultures, and be a powerful source of inspiration and hope. Its ability to connect people on a local, national, and international level is tremendous. A shared love of music can transcend borders and differences, reminding us of the things we have in common. I truly believe in the unifying power of music.
Does music have the power to heal?
I believe music has the power to support healing, both physically and emotionally. Music brings beauty, harmony, and pleasure into our lives, and gives us an opportunity to connect with the innermost part of our being. There is also growing scientific evidence that music can have positive effects on our emotional and physical well-being. For example, research has shown that listening to music can help reduce anxiety and stress and may support recovery in certain medical settings. I believe that music can be a powerful source of comfort, strength, and hope.
Do you listen to music every day?
Yes, I do. Music is a constant presence in my life, and I believe it has a powerful effect on the human spirit. It can change our mood, bring us comfort, give us energy, and inspire us when we need it most. It can also help us understand and express emotions that are sometimes difficult to express in any other way. I think there is something truly beautiful about the way music can touch people and bring them closer to themselves and to one another.
Is anyone else in your family a musician?
I am the only one. There is no musical background in my family, so my connection with music was something that came from within me. From an early age, I felt a natural attraction to music and a strong need to express myself through it. Over time, that feeling grew into a passion and eventually became an essential part of who I am. My family has always supported and encouraged me, but my journey into music was very much my own.
..:: General Questions ::..
What is life to you?
Life is a gift. It invites us to appreciate the immeasurable value of what we have been given and, at the same time, to take responsibility for it. For me, this means living with gratitude, purpose, and respect for the life we have been entrusted with.
What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
Being alive is breathing and having a heartbeat. But truly living is so much more than simply existing. It is being able to enjoy the life you have, to laugh wholeheartedly, to smile genuinely, and to experience the world around you. Truly living means embracing opportunities, taking chances, and being willing to follow them even when you don't know where they might lead. For me, truly living means being present, staying curious, and making the most of every moment we are given.
Is it better to give or to receive?
To give. I believe that when you give sincerely and without expecting anything in return, you will always receive something in return. Perhaps not in the way you expect, but in one form or another. Giving creates a sense of connection and meaning that receiving alone cannot.
Everything happens for a reason, right?
Absolutely. I believe that things sometimes have to fall out of place so that better things can fall into place. Even when we don't understand why something is happening at the time, it can eventually lead us somewhere we were meant to be.
Do you believe that world peace is possible?
I believe that all things are possible. As long as we have hope and the willingness to understand, respect, and support one another, we should never stop believing that a more peaceful world is within our reach.
Is inner peace possible?
Yes, I believe it is. Inner peace begins the moment we choose to be mindful and stop allowing other people or external events to control our emotions. We cannot always control what happens around us, but we can learn to choose how we respond to it. For me, that awareness is an important part of finding peace within ourselves.
Would you like to share with us a short inspirational story?
An old man was talking to a young boy and said, "I feel like there are two wolves fighting in my heart. One is kind, and loving, and caring. The other is mean, and cruel, and angry." The boy asked, "But, grandfather, which wolf will win the fight?" The grandfather just smiled and said, "The one that I feed."
What is your opinion on sports and the insane fandom that goes with them?
I love football and basketball, as well as the Olympic Games, which I consider one of the most beautiful celebrations of humanity. Sports themselves are something wonderful: they bring people together, inspire us, and show what can be achieved through dedication and hard work. What I don't like is the enormous amount of money surrounding professional sports and the way that excessive fandom can sometimes cause people to lose sight of other important aspects of their lives. I believe sports are at their best when they remain a source of joy, inspiration, and connection.
What have you discovered today that you would like to share?
I just learned that when we look up at the night sky, we are actually looking back in time. It takes a certain amount of time for the light from distant stars and galaxies to reach our eyes, sometimes millions or even billions of years. This means that we are not seeing these objects as they are today, but as they were when the light began its journey toward us. The past is visible above us!
Do you think that humanity has a future beyond Earth?
For the time being, I don't think there is anywhere else in our solar system that is as hospitable to human life as our own planet. We need to address our problems here and take care of the world we have. However, I believe that by the next century, some people may be living on other planets. And over the course of several centuries, if humanity continues to adapt to life beyond Earth, they may eventually evolve into something that could be considered a new human species.
What are the pros and cons of colonizing other planets?
On the positive side, colonizing other planets could lead to tremendous advances in technology and inspire new generations of scientists, engineers, and astronauts. It would also give us the opportunity to learn more about the development of our own planet and solar system and, ultimately, gain a deeper understanding of our place in the universe. On the other hand, it would be extremely expensive and dangerous. There would also be enormous practical and ethical challenges, including questions about how a colony should be governed, who should make the decisions, and how conflicts would be resolved. Establishing a human settlement on another planet would be one of the greatest challenges our species has ever faced.
Do you believe in the existence of aliens?
Yes, I do. I think it is highly likely that there are other intelligent beings somewhere in the universe. I can't imagine what they might look like or what their societies might be like, but given the enormous number of stars and planets out there, I find it difficult to believe that we are the only intelligent life in existence. If we imagine that one of these extraterrestrial civilizations is hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of us in terms of science and technology, it is fascinating to think about what they might already be capable of. Perhaps they have even found a way to travel across the vast distances of space and visit other worlds, including ours.
What does love feel like?
Love feels like a warm, cozy blanket wrapped tightly around me on a cold winter's day. Love feels like a cool breeze on a hot summer's day. It is a feeling of being exactly where I'm meant to be.
What is your opinion on racism?
Unfortunately, even today, we can see racism and racist attitudes growing in different parts of the world. We must stand against racism and never allow it to take root and spread, because it undermines human dignity and damages the cohesion of our societies. Racism has no place in the world we want to build. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and to have the same fundamental rights and opportunities, regardless of their race or background.
Is the glass half-empty or half-full?
The glass is half-full. I choose to focus on what I have rather than what I lack. There is always something to be grateful for, and I believe that our perspective can change the way we experience life.
Who is the richest person in the world?
The richest person in the world is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least. True wealth is not measured by what we possess, but by how much we appreciate what we already have. To me, contentment is one of the greatest forms of wealth.
What is the secret to getting ahead?
The secret to getting ahead is to focus your energy not on fighting yesterday, but on building something new today. We cannot change what has already happened, but we can decide what we do with today and what we build for tomorrow.
What do you think about online dating?
I think online dating can be a great way to meet new people you might never have crossed paths with otherwise. It gives us the opportunity to connect with people from different places and backgrounds, and sometimes those connections can develop into something truly meaningful. You may even meet the love of your life in a place you never expected to find it.
What is your opinion on plastic surgery?
Personally, I don't think I would choose to have plastic surgery unless it were necessary because of a serious accident or a medical condition. However, I have no problem with people choosing to have cosmetic procedures for personal reasons. Everyone has the right to make their own choices about their body and appearance, and I believe those choices should be respected.
Do you believe in magic?
I don't believe there is such a thing as magic. I think "magic" is simply a word we use for things we don't yet fully understand. If you took a modern computer and showed it to a prehistoric society, for example, they would have no technological foundation for understanding how it works. To them, it would effectively be magic. In the same way, I believe that future technology will seem almost magical to us today. Science has already shown us that when we understand how something works, what once seemed impossible can become perfectly explainable. Perhaps what we call magic is simply science that we haven't discovered yet.
Is there a message you would like to share with humanity?
Let us love and accept one another just as we are. Let us embrace our differences, choose kindness over judgment, and remember that, beneath everything that makes us different, we are all connected.
If you had to describe humanity in 3 words, what would those words be?
Beautiful. Creative. Intelligent.
